Dear all,
This is an official invitation for the farewell party the company has decided to throw in honor of Mr. Josh Allen, our esteemed Marketing Manager, who will be leaving us at the end of this month.
Mr. Allen has been working in our organization since the last 9 years and has worked his way up to the managerial ranks. He has consistently proven to be an asset for our company and has been behind some of the most successful marketing strategies we have implemented.
